For a science student like Fang Yuan, mathematics is the foundation of everything. If he doesn't excel in mathematics, no amount of excellence in other subjects can compensate.

During the Gaokao, if multiple individuals have the same score, the one with the higher mathematics score is given priority for admission – this is almost a convention in every school.

This illustrates the importance of mathematics for science subjects. Especially in independent enrollment programs like this, the impression score for mathematics is much higher than for other subjects.

Around us, there are examples of people rapidly improving their English scores in two months or less, but there are very few examples of people significantly improving their mathematics scores in a short period.

According to the information Fang Yuan received from his class teacher, Jiang Hao, the exam questions for Beihai University of Technology this time are very similar to the Gaokao, consisting of two parts: mathematics and comprehensive subjects. However, the mathematics and science comprehensive sections will include questions primarily in English.

Although nominally only two subjects are being tested, it is actually a comprehensive assessment of three or even more subjects combined.

Therefore, during this period, Fang Yuan frantically studied English and mathematics, hoping to reach an ideal level in these two subjects before the exam. Even if it's not for this exam, he needs to prepare for the Gaokao in just over a month.

"Ah, why am I not a genius?"

"It's all the system's fault. If it weren't so useless and dragging me down, I might already be a 'top student' at Beihai No. 1 High School!"

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's mood suddenly improved. He waved his hand fiercely at the air and said with a firm gaze,

"That's right, it's all the system's fault!"

At this moment, the system, still unaware that it had become Fang Yuan's scapegoat, could only silently wait in the corner for its "big pot" to be placed upon it.

Meanwhile, on the 21st floor of the most luxurious riverside apartment in BH City,

"Fatty, are you sure A Yuan is applying to Beihai University of Technology?" The girl widened her eyes and asked the chubby boy, whose weight was causing a noticeable sag in the sofa, with a doubtful tone.

"Of course! Who do you think I am? You promised me that if I helped you find out which school A Yuan was applying to, you would have to call me 'brother' from now on whenever we meet. You can't call me 'Fatty' anymore!" The fatty on the sofa nimbly sat up and said to the girl in front of him.

"If you didn't lie to me, I will definitely keep my promise! Besides, haven't you always been my brother? Why do you have to care about a title?" A hint of excitement and certainty gleamed in the girl's big eyes as she said with a smile.

"It's different. Qian Xiaoxiao is also a well-known figure at school, but who would have thought that my own sister would call me 'Fatty'?"

As he said this, Qian Xiaoxiao's mood suddenly dropped.

"Isn't that my term of endearment for you? If anyone else calls you 'Fatty' besides me, I'll help you beat them up!" The girl waved her small fist, wrinkled her little nose, and pretended to be fierce.

Looking at the girl's cute appearance, Qian Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped being angry. Of course, he wasn't really angry with the girl just now, but he just felt a deep sense of regret that the girl had never called him 'brother'.

"You said it! No matter who calls me 'Fatty,' you'll help me beat them up?" Qian Xiaoxiao looked at the girl with a mischievous smile.

"Of course! As long as someone says anything about you being fat, I'll help you beat them up," the girl replied firmly.

"In that case, tomorrow in class, you should help me deal with the guy sitting behind you. He called me 'Fatty' more than once after we came out of the teacher's office. Fortunately, I, Fatty, am generous and didn't bother arguing with him."

"Which one behind me? How dare he call you that? I'll teach him a lesson for you tomorrow."

"Who else could it be? Fang Yuan, of course!"

The girl's face instantly turned red. She picked up a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Qian Xiaoxiao.

"Why are you so annoying? How can you make fun of me with something like this?"

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"

After speaking, the girl left the living room and returned to her bedroom.

"Beihai University of Technology, huh? I hope I can see you again on campus!"

Thinking of Fang Yuan's surprised expression when he saw her on campus, the girl revealed a charming smile.

That's right, this girl is Fang Yuan's "best friend," Xiang Lingling.

Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only 3 days left until Fang Yuan's exam.

With the warmth of late April, Fang Yuan carried his schoolbag and stepped into the classroom with the morning sun at just after 5 a.m.

After more than half a month of focused practice, with his own efforts and the teacher's patient explanations, Fang Yuan's mathematics level had greatly improved.

For this exam, Fang Yuan used up all five remaining bottles of memory potion. Hard work pays off; the effort put in will eventually be rewarded.

Unlike others, with the system's help, Fang Yuan could clearly see his progress. Whenever Fang Yuan felt lax, seeing his experience points on the system panel would re-energize him.

As a mild obsessive-compulsive, Fang Yuan always pursues perfection, whether in games or in daily life. At least, what he considers to be perfect.

So, when he saw the experience bar on the panel that never seemed to fill up, Fang Yuan felt like he had eaten "dog poop," feeling extremely uncomfortable.

In the half-year since obtaining the system, Fang Yuan's happiest time every day was when he checked his data. Whenever he made significant progress, Fang Yuan's heart would be filled with pride. Although pride can lead to regression, that's not always the case; sometimes pride can also drive progress.

The feeling of starting from scratch allowed Fang Yuan to feel satisfied every time he made even a small step forward, which is why he was able to persevere during these past six months.

Now, Fang Yuan's level in each subject has comprehensively entered the "quasi-ace" level. The lowest subject is English, with "only" 782 experience points, a gap of 118 experience points from the 900-point mark. Although the gap doesn't seem large, Fang Yuan knows that the difference is still significant.

This is the extent to which Fang Yuan's attribute panel has reached in the past half-month.

"Mathematics: lv3 901 / 1000

Chinese: lv3 857 / 1000

English: lv3 782 / 1000

Physics: lv3 884 / 1000

Chemistry: lv3 876 / 1000

Biology: lv3 913 / 1000"

Fang Yuan's rate of progress has gradually slowed down recently. This feeling has become even stronger after his experience points reached 800. Especially biology, which had reached the 900-point mark early on, has only gained 2 experience points in so many days. He knows that his bottleneck period is about to arrive.

"Ah! If I could continue to progress like before, I could get all my subjects to lv4 before the Gaokao."

"Based on my understanding of the system, the knowledge level corresponding to lv4 should be undergraduate level. At the current rate, unless I give up the other subjects before the Gaokao and specialize in one, it might be possible to raise it to lv4."

"Ah! Why can other people's systems level up directly? Why can't my system?"

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt a trace of sadness in his heart, but also a trace of relief.

"If the system could directly improve me, I wouldn't have the sense of accomplishment I have now. This independent enrollment exam will be the best stage for me to showcase myself. I hope it won't disappoint me!"

"Ah! I could clearly rely on my looks to make a living. Why do I have to rely on my strength? Someone with my looks and willingness to work hard is hard to find even with a lantern in this society!"

Fang Yuan looked at himself in the mirror and said with a confident expression.

Don't think Fang Yuan is narcissistic just because he said that. To be honest, although Fang Yuan's appearance can't compare to those little fresh meats after makeup, he is still a little handsome compared to ordinary people.

You should know that Fang Yuan is one of the most popular boys among girls at Beihai No. 1 High School, not only because of his good family background and good looks, but also because he is very considerate to the girls around him.
